In: A Graphic Novel
by Will McPhail
A beautiful graphic novel. I absolutely loved it. It had humor, real life questions, was very relatable, and an overall joy to read. The story follows Nick, a young illustrator, who can’t shake the feeling that there is some hidden realm of interaction beyond his reach ( and I mean we all have had this feeling). He floats from place to place trying to just connect with someone or some feeling. He has very interesting and sometimes funny interactions with his neighbors, the bar man, his plumber, and a potential new relationship with a girl named Wren. But besides these human interactions, there is also another story told and its about how Nick deals with one of his family members getting cancer and how their relationship progresses. As someone who has had a family member pass from cancer, I found this to be very accurate and touching. The portrayal was so beautifully done and every interaction and lesson is just so heart felt. I truly loved this book and everything in it. I would highly recommend it for everyone as it is equal parts hilarious and heart-wrenching.
